Ready When the Time Comes (RWTC) is a program of the American Red Cross. The purpose is to prepare teams of corporate employees to be ready immediately to help in a time of a local, large-scale disaster, such as the Floods of 2008. RWTC volunteers serve as “reserves” that can be called when disaster response requires more than the normal corps of chapter volunteers. RWTC volunteers may be trained in such specialty areas of service as: Sheltering, Mass Care and Feeding, Damage Assessment, Bulk Distribution, and/or Client Casework.
